Brilliant‼️

I love this show and the guests they bring on. Joe really covers a wide variety of topics. Each episode is a deep dive into a different area of improving your life. Can’t recommend it enough!

About a third of the way though his book and have already changed my approach to helping grow my kids to be better prepared for life. Thank you sir!!!

I love so many of these! I just listened to episode 780 for the third time and wow I’m still getting new info. Love episodes like these.

First, I want to say thank you for this podcast. It has helped motivate me every week for the last couple of years. I’m running the Boston Marathon this year, my first official marathon (got in with a charity and was at the finish line in 2013 25 feet away from the second bomb blast). Second, I’m looking forward to the book on raising kids. I have a son. The more I listen to these podcasts the more I feel I’m doing the best for him by not making things easy (trying to make this thought concise for this post). Third, I completely agree with Joe when he says this is probably his most important interview. What an Amazing look into humanity. Thank you Spartan Up!

I just started listening a few days ago. Loving the topics and interviews. Tons of great information that anyone can apply to their own lives.

But boring content. Why would he not interview Spartan athletes? It’s all random people that have nothing to do with racing. Athletic brewing, guys helping kids in the Bronx, sure stand alone this is fine content... but I want to hear about training, nutrition, and tips to become an elite Spartan athlete.

I’ve been listening to Spartan Up podcast Joe De Sena and the other hosts have always delivered the best contents. The best episode this year has been “ the equation of happiness “. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you!

Whether you’re already deep into your journey of authentic health and wellness, or just getting started organizing your lifestyle around what matters most - this is a must-listen podcast for you! Joe and the Spartan team do an incredible job leading conversations that cover the entire range of mental, emotional, cultural and physical challenges we all face learning to navigate the transition to our optimal state of living. Highly recommend listening and subscribing!

Great info and diverse perspectives. JOE get on top of the audio mishaps please! The audio fluctuates and can be inconsistent.

Do we really need the trope of “kids these days.” Come on. The Boomers certainly screwed things up royally for this world. Every Gen has pros and cons, after the latest episode, had to unsubscribe.

SOOOO many one liners in this one. Crazy inspiring. “Pain is a Sign of Life”..✊🏿 Thank you for sharing..!!!

PLEASE tell Johnny to slow down some when he talks. I LOVE what he has to say but can’t understand half of it.

This podcast is absolutely wonderful, I have learned so much over the years from Joe, his team and the various guests. I am very grateful for it. I only have one critique. The interviews are too short. Not everyone has a short commute. I will be listening to a really great interview, then all of a sudden it’s over. I simply cannot understand how such a superb put together team goes through so much trouble to travel the world and do these amazing interviews and cut them so short? Joe, I respectfully request longer podcast, but thank you for what you and your crew do.

Superior interviews with discussions and recaps that help me grow and improve at home, work, in life.

I usually love these podcasts but this was a commercial for the waffles. Saying it isn’t A commercial doesn’t mean it isn’t. Focus on the message you want the audience to hear.

Very informative; love the content

Truly, thank you for all of the content that you guys put on this podcast! It has helped to motivate me and keep me motivated. Keep up the great work 👏🏻😁👊🏻

Everyone is too busy training to create a compelling podcast? 1-5 minutes long, no apparent structure or preparation. Just folks talking briefly for your ears.

Original, informative, positive. Great work. Nice to see this in such negative, harsh times

Please eliminate the spartan mind segments . They are a complete waste of time .

Bust outta your 'tick-tock', consume Spartan Up! and revel in the challenges of life. These presentations are impassioned, real communication for real people.

The guests on the show are amazing. Inspiring stories. Great motivation. Everyone can learn something in every podcast. Some of the hosts are unnecessary and/or egotistical. If the podcast was just the interviews and a quick intro and/or summary, it would be better. The colonel is awesome.

Really enjoy the guests and their many aspects in fitness if the body and mind. I guess I need to sign up for a Spartan Race this year.

Love the stories!

For getting me off he couch and helping others do the same. I turned 50 2 years ago and got my family to do the Sacramento Sprint with - since I have completed the Tahoe and Big Bear Beasts plus other races for 2 Trifectas last year and working on 2 more this year! You guys rock! Thanks for the awesome stories. Hope to meet you out there!

My favorite episode is of course Barry Hearn. I've raced in a few Spartan races and enjoy the whole lifestyle is about. 5/5

Very interesting podcast. It motivates me daily.

Each week, a new interview with someone who inspires me to hit the ground running and tackle life with all I've got!

I have listened to many podcast over the years but the Spartan up! podcasts have by far been the most inspiring. After listening to just eight podcasts I have ordered two books written by guests and have a few more on the list. Thanks for making the start of my day so motivating!

Seems this podcast has run its course. If they don't successfully adjust, subscription levels will surely fall. I'll be giving them a handful of podcasts before I pull the ejection lever, but I'm not optimistic at this point.

Joe does mostly leading questions and no one ever disagrees with him. Have we run out of people to interview when we are interviewing just people who run your races? I've listened to 140 of these and he hasn't got any better. Doesn't even know the names of the people he's interviewing!

Listen to this. Listen to Joe. Burpees and cold showers. Thank you Spartan Up you rock.

Great job guys. We all appreciate all the time, energy and hard work every one of you put in. Love it!

It's just good. Subscribe

Love this podcast! It's a must hear!

I find these interviews to be a great source of motivation when I start to think of excuses for not bettering myself everyday. They are inspirational, in that it shows what a person is capable of achieving when they set their minds to something they believe in. Overall, I can't say enough good things about this podcast. I appreciate the time put into it and can't wait to see where this goes. Thank you.

Great podcast all around!!! Must listen. Great interviews, awesome stories, a lots of helpful information and of course Joe's absolutely amazing attitude makes this podcast the best.

Every guest is meaningful and inspirational. After listening, I know that I can succeed on my personal epic journey of success.

It is plain greatness. Keep it up! Well worth the effort... this podcast Im sure will bring more people closer to the Spartan Way Of Life. And they will thank It!

The Spartan Up podcast is super inspirational. I started listening after my first Spartan race last year. On days that I'm struggle I listen in because I know I will hear people overcoming greater adversity then what I'm going through. Thank you for all the inspiring interviews.

In my busy life I am finding ways to not Spatan Up and I hate it. I am looking for motivation and I love the stories.

If you will listen and soak it in this podcast can change your life. The entire Spartan concept is push you to be a better person, professional, athlete, etc if you will embrace it. It's not easy, but it works.

Great content, great group of podcasters! I hope they continue producing.

Spartan challenges me to push my limits as much as anything in my life. Joe is contagious in his mindset. Any time I even try to make an excuse, I have to remind myself that guys like Joe De Sena exist. Thanks for the inspiration!

This podcast has it all when it comes to motivation, inspiration, and success! Interviews of so many well known athletes and professionals alike. High profile CEOs, famous athletes, explorers, you name it. Joe and team do a wonderful job interviewing and discussing what it takes to find success in any endeavor. Love it. Thank you for providing this enlightening podcast!!

Please forgive me for harsh words which are not meant to be taken personally, but for quality improvement purposes only. Please consider excusing Sephra from being a moderator on your pre-post chat tables. I'm just finishing a training run listening to the interview with Masha Gordon. Like other episodes from "Spartan Up", I am buoyed by wonderful content, which is then devalued by Seprahs comments. I have not found her to add anything intellectual or relevant to the Spartan message of developing inner strength. Again, nothing personal, but she doesn't add anything of substance to your podcast.
